Good evening everyone!

Since I am new in building a complete custom pc I want to ask you for advice (if I managed to pick parts that wouldn't work together) and your opinion on the products. (positive and negative aspects)

Feel free to make any suggestions on other hardware but be gentle with my wallet, please, I am already pushing the limits^^

The parts I would like to use for my pc:

 

Thank you for your input and help

Greetings from Germany

CPU: Intel i7 5820K 
Motherboard: Asus x99 Deluxe
GPU: Gigabyte Windforce GTX960 with 4GB VRAM - perform worse than a similarly priced R9 380, even with the 380 your system will be unbalanced towards CPU (better workstation worse gaming)
SSD: Intel 730 Series 240GB - overpriced go with 850 evo or something
PSU: Corsair RM 750W with Cablemod cables - Over priced and under perform go with a 750w G2
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 4x4GB DDR4 - limiting yourself byy going 4x4 go for 2x8
CPU Cooler: Raijintek Triton AiO cooler (There I want to ask: Is it possible to use it with acrylic pipes instead of the standard tube and is it possible to change the fittings of the waterblock?). they have issue with the block cracking so I would recommend a X61 or H100i GTX and no you cannot.
Case: Lian Li PC08 -  :wub:

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Thank you for fast your reply, thekeemo ;]
 

 

I love the Case so much! *-*. I saw the build vlog and i thoung "i have to get this!"

And the AiO cooler would be to good if there were no problems with it,... but thanks for pointing them out.


I will look into changing the parts list.

No, just 2 way, my card is a pretty power hungry, and I want to be on the safe side in terms of what I can do.

850w gives you PLENTY of headroom

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Short term:

  • Noctua redux NF-P14 fans for the front of my case

Long term:

  • Custom loop

Trying to decide a colour and sticking to it probably wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Nope, I just want a PSU that will last a LONG time. Looking about and asking I also got the answer get the 1kw. I'm also getting it because its not too much expensive over the 850w.
